HTC Launches HTC EVO 3D Glasses-Free 3D smartphone

So here is the ultimate Samsung Galaxy S 2 killer – HTC Corporation has launched its 3D smartphone, HTC EVO 3D that is 3D Glass-free (you don’t need to wear 3D glasses to view 3D on this smartphone). As the name suggests, HTC Evo 3D is a 3D smartphone based on Google’s Android Gingerbread 2.3 operating system. It is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon system on a chip — MSM 8660 — running at 1.2 GHz with an Adreno 220 graphics engine, 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of onboard storage — making EVO 3D a great HTC phone.

It is the first smartphone available in the Indian market offering a superior 3D viewing experience without glasses. Other specs include a 4.3″ 3D display with pixel dimensions of 540×960, a gigabyte of RAM, secondary 1.4 MP camera, microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, microUSB with MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) support, and a 1730 mAh battery.

“Qualcomm congratulates HTC on the launch of the HTC EVO 3D powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 mobile processor. This device opens up a new dimension for capturing, consuming and interacting with 3D content on the move.

The powerful and power-efficient asynchronous dual core CPUs coupled with their rich 3D and HD capabilities of Adreno 220 GPU and integrated support for stereoscopic 3D in Snapdragon, enable an immersive glasses-free 3D experience for Indian consumers,” said Dr. Sandeep Sibal, Country Manager and VP, Business Development, Qualcomm India and South Asia.

Priced at Rs 35,990 in Indian market, the phone also features dual 5 megapixel cameras, which can be used to capture both conventional and 3D images and videos.

The smartphone’s 3G mobile hotspot capability enables it to provide support for up to eight Wi-Fi enabled devices at the same time.

I was really surprised how well these 3D phones work. I thought that they were not going to work, but the 3D effect is pretty realistic. Still not interested in buying one though.Hugh Kimura´s recent blog post ►► Why I Believe That The Future Is In Microindustry
